Water Block for PIII
 

I'm new to this forum but have been following liquid cooling for a while. I'm fiannly going to start. My first issue is that in all the searching I've done, I've never found a water block that was made for the Intel PIII. I'm running a dual config and need a pair of blocks that are thin low-profile enough to fit between the CPUs.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

Fit between the CPUs? You obviously have a Slot-1 board..

Perhaps something like this is what you need?
The a-MAZE-ing Copper Block - Slocket

Can be found at http://www.dangerden.com

Thanks, and yes, it is a slot 1 motherboard. I noticed that this preoduct was not listed on the products link. Also, the picture showed a block that was square - whereas my Slot 1 CPUs are more rectangular. How does this block fit on the chip?

I'm not familiar with what hold down mechanism DangerDen recommends or delivers (if any). It seems as if they assume your using a slotket and therefore have socket lugs which makes it possible to use their standard socket hold downs. I would not recommend this method, I've seen socket lugs break.. ok so they have the 3-lug versions also but still..

But I assume you have real slot processors, so you're not using slotkets. I would personally remove the heat spreader (the rectangular plate) from the slot card and and cool the processor with the block directly. The hold down mechanism that you manufacture yourself will then use the holes in the slot card normally used by the heat spreader. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

The P-III has on-processor L2-cache from what I remember so you should only see the core on the slot card, no memory chips. Even if you have memory chips, they rarely need cooling.

it fits on the cpu only, not the rest of the pcb, and goes through the holes in the pcb
